Question? What happens when a call comes in while your in the middle of using the GPS enroute to your destination?

I have an ETEN M500 with my Bluetooth simultaneously connected to my BT-338 GPS and my HS850 Headset. While in the navigation software, when I receive a call, the GPS and software continue to communicate and chug along simultaneously while I'm on the call. I even pull up a notepad or drawing application to take notes, then I end the call and use the task manager to switch back to the navigation software. I would assume the HW6515 would be capable of the same thing, just a little bit slower since it's processor is about 100MHz slower than my M500. Gotta love that multitasking, though.

I would guess you tap the button on your BT headset and take the call.

I just can't justify buying a new device with an old os now that the new one is out. :roll:

While there's been no official announcement, my HP sources tell me that an upgrade to WM2005 will be made available sometime around the end of 2005/start of 2006. That's a long time to wait though...

that's not too bad. i am not planning to get a new device before february 06 anyway. I really want the first run of wm5.0 devices to be out and used by users and to see what is on the horizon then before i make any final decisions.
good news that it will probably get a 5.0 upgrade plus the possible wifi version early next year.
my sx66 isn't that old. just really wish it had a builtin camera... i can wait.... must wait....

I have the hw6515 and can tell you that phone calls come in normally while in the middle of a GPS route. I'm using Mapopolis, and I haven't had a problem yet with calls.
The only glitch is that the person you're talking to will hear the voice navigation.

They dell x50v and the hp 4700 are getting the WM5 upgrade and they don't have softkeys either.
